How difficult is to change a thermostat in 2002 VW PASSAT 1.8T automatic? Can I do it by myself?

It's not all that difficult if you've got some basic mechanical ability. If I remember right, it's at the front of the car, on the left (from the front of the car) side. You'll need some decent channel-lock pliers or a pair of hose clamp pliers to pull the radiator hose off, then a largeish flat blade screwdriver to remove the squeeze clamp from around the thermostat itself, then it's just elbow grease and persuasion to get the old one out.



The very most important part about this job, make sure you get the right kind of coolant to put back in the car! You'll need VW G12, G12+, or G12++ type coolant, and yes, there is a difference between the VW stuff and the junk you can buy at your local auto store. Totally different make up, the everyday stuff, especially mixed with VW stuff, can eat straight through seals and gaskets.How difficult is to change a thermostat in 2002 VW PASSAT 1.8T automatic?

The previous poster is partially right, however the front end (bumper cover) needs to be removed. This is a difficult job. Keep in mind you need to flush and fill with G12, G12+, or G12++. Careful though, if you get air in the system, that will cause major problems.
